5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must read for all vetrans, October 10, 1999

By A Customer

This is something new for me,to set down and write a book review because I have not read more than maybe two books in my whole life. I was with peter in the 101st Airborne Div.in 1965 and 1966.in Co.A 2sd/502sd. pete went to viet Nam in a weapons platoon but was soon changed to a rifle paltoon so pete was there with the rest of us line dogs.So read this book and let it open your soul,you can,t get over the fears till you get over tears. WELCOME HOME.. Ronnie Shook jshook@gateway.net

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Tears, December 14, 1999

By	Susan Costanza (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

I read the entire book on my flight from FL to NY. My husband served with the 101st in Vietnam and while reading the book, I felt as though all the FEELINGS behind all of the stories my husband had told me, where there in the pages of the book. Anyone who has loved or lost a Vietnam veteran or anyone who has wondered what it was like for these young men, what really was going on in their hearts and minds... HAS to read this book. A lot of vietnam vets don't want to share their thoughts, memories or tears... I thank Pete Griffin for sharing his.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real personal side., October 14, 1999

By	Ruth Lukkari (Chaska, MN United States) - See all my reviews

What a wonderful book. A deeply, personal memoir of a soldier's time in Vietnam, his commitment to the brothers who served in the Korean War and the love of his family. Unlike commerical books that have been poured over by professionals, this book is emotional and permeated with love and commitment. As a soldier, Mr. Griffin is obviously committed to his country and fellow soldiers. In my observation over the years, combat soldiers are overly generous in their views toward their leaders. This book is no exception. Mr. Griffin is very charitable toward his leaders, who in my opinion, were not as mindful of their soldier's welfare as they could have been. A wonderful memior and I hope it will be prommoted to many colleges and universities who are teaching about the Vietnam War. I personally appreciated the time and energy such a book must have taken. I'm sure it must have been cathartic for Mr. Griffin. The Vietnam story needs to be told and this book does it in a very different and personal way. I hope many will purchase this book as it is a must read.
